Now Vilma and crew will go back to the courts to try and get the suspensions null and voided. Just a big bunch of garbage that needs to be over with. Tired of hearing about it to be honest._________________

"The facts, however, conclusively undermine this characterization. For example, in a game between the Saints and the New York Giants in 2009, a Saints player earned a reward for a cart-off of Giants running back Brandon Jacobs, who left the game with a shoulder injury. After a 2010 game against the Carolina Panthers, the Saints defensive unit was commended for forcing '3 CART-OFFS! 1 already placed on I.R.!' In that game, three Carolina players were seriously injured: running backs Jonathan Stewart and Tyrell Sutton, who were literally carted off the field with a head/neck and ankle injury, respectively, and quarterback Matt Moore, who was later placed on injured reserve, unable to return for the remainder of the season, with a torn labrum. These all satisfied Coach Williams' definition of cart-offs: 'big hits that resulted in an opposing player leaving the game due to the hit (for example, having the "wind knocked out of him" or being shaken up or injured in some other way)....' He added that 'rewarding cart-offs and knockouts...could encourage players to injure opposing players [and] I now understand that someone could be seriously injured as a result....'

Williams is such a scum bag. Did he seriously not see this being an issue?_________________

Lombardi - Isn't that the guy the trophy is named after? If so, top 3 coach of all time.

It was never "overturned". IT was more of a null and void because Goodell was poor in differentiating what was pay for performance and what was pay to injury. Pay for performance is not his jurisdiction, that would be a salary cap violation. Pay for injury is his territory. He didn't differentiate them in his write ups well enough so it was null and voided. That's way different from being overturned. There was never a doubt they would be re-administered after the paper work was re-done._________________
